Stages of anaesthesia and recovery in shrimps.
Stage | Description | Characteristic behaviour |
---|---|---|
Induction | ||
1 | Partial loss of equilibrium | Reaction only to strong tactile and vibration stimuli |
2 | Complete loss of equilibrium | Percular movement ceases, not reactive to stimuli |
Recovery | ||
1 | Partial regained control of equilibrium | Start of erratic swimming without reestablishment of equilibrium |
2 | Complete regained control of equilibrium | Attained an upright position on the bottoms of the aquaria |
